NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 2 - pareto weighted moving average

my tv broke wrote:Hahahaha oh man. NRL hasnt started yet and weve seen the worst bunker call of the year

I called out at the game it’s Klein flip a coin. Honestly I couldn’t tell re the call my eyes couldn’t see it up close enough.

On another note I didn’t see any of the Broncos trial? Any talking points out of it? How did Pereira and Kobe go etc?

I must admit that until now... and I did not see today's trial... I have not ever laid eyes of Pereira. What is striking from his stats is his consistency in a WING position without scoring many tries (only 0.3 per game career average). If he did put a bit of a run together, he would be one that you would want in your side. he is playing for the Broncos, however!

What happened to him last year?

Can a suspension from a dangerous play really have that much of an impact on your career? Both him and Ese'ese! One bad move and they just kind of vanished from their respective teams.

Don’t want to take too much notice into fantasy scores but what I noticed is almost all offloads were going to hand. Granted, early in the season players may be rusty (though they looked alright last night)

About the only ones hitting the ground coinciding with an error

Given they’re the same points as a line break, offloads to hand are going to be overpowered

Last year he had a heavily strapped knee and wasn't running freely. Didn't seem hindered at all in this game.

Looks like he’s lost a bit of weight to

He would be a fantasy beast at any club.... except the one he is at

Surely Ricky watches that and realises thats his forward leader

Periera was awesome. Scored 2 tries. One he got his center of gravity low and bumped off the defender to get over the line. The other try he showed silky skills, picking up a difficult kick at ankle level at full speed and somehow immediately spinning away from the waiting defender to go over untouched. Pure class.

Was active all game, getting through the first tackle and doing the hard yards to get out of their own end.

When Mariner gets his chance you will want him in your team. Only 18, scored 3 tries. He and Periera would make a great edge together. Mariner was a late call up to the game, so I doubt they had trained much together.

Flegler just played the first 25 minutes, played really well, was always looking for an offload. Could be a surprise fantasy performer this season when he returns from suspension.

Mam and Gamble both played well.

Walters put up a good challenge for the 14 jersey. Was strong at both 9 and 6. Loved running from dummy half and creating lots of opportunities from it.

Didnt really notice Hetherington.

He was in that form at the end of 2020 and start of 2021, but Ricky was still giving him 40 minutes a game, then he got injured, back to the bench, then dropped.

I started with him last year and couldn't believe how little he was used. Was killing it on the field, 75 in 42 minutes, then 48 in 41 minutes, both with no tries.

He would be 60 minute lock or prop, or 80 minute edge at any other club. Its no wonder he and his wife (and I) got the shits with Ricky under-utilising him last season.

Watched most of the all-stars game, agreed Hynes looks like he'll be running a lot of the plays at the Sharks, but to fit him in I have sacrifice Mann. Is Hynes worth the Mann??

In the games that aren’t in Victoria and QLD that is

Depending on his role you may not want Mann though

Everyone played reasonably well as you would expect against a qld cup team that was well below qld cup strength, due to playing a bunch of colts/rookies/unknowns.. ie it was also a trial for the wynnum club

The most noticable thing for me Gamble coming onto the field. Gave them much more direction at that point, but tbh it was mostly downhill skiing for thr broncos after the initial scrapiness

Pereira played well, did his chances no harm. Walters could challenge for a bench role. Mam will dominate q cup for the firs half of the year

Everyone looked quite fit even late into the game, altho i dont know if it was an optical illusion due to opponents being part time footballers.

Hynes is the mann

Great game last night, I wasn't going to start with Hynes, but after that game I'll try fit him in at WFB.

never tear us apart:

Does anyone play supercoach as well? Thinking about giving it a go this year.

Nice reminder

I mean Pereira would want to look like a gun at that level right? probably doesn’t mean much for NRL

The gap between NRL and QLD/NSW cup has never been larger IMO. Huge step up when you consider last two seasons of guys in a professional bubble environment vs comps being interrupted. And it was already massive.

I’m also not that excited about Hynes w/Trindall, some clues there but could be different at the Sharks. Need to see the actual trials

My main takeaway is A Fifita on the radar if very few min price guys emerge and he is in the 17. Yeah he might end up with a bunch of 12pts in 15 min type cameos, but still looked capable of snapping off that huge play where he ends up on 37 pts in 15 mins. TBF he made a couple of those plays last season even when he looked completely busted.

It seems just different enough that I’d have to invest a significant amount of time. No room on top of NRL fantasy plus my draft comps. plus FPL until May plus NFL drafts at the back end of the NRL season. Oh and I guess family and work matter too

Had Hynes & AFifi in the squad since earlier so yesterday was good to see. Though Hynes will probably be the first one to go TLT depending and if I need to make space for salary cap.

On another note hadn't realised DWalker is Maori. Now I hate him little bit less.

Tapine is a lock for me if you can tell me where he fits into a starting pack consisting of Pap, Young, Sutton, Whitehead, CHN, Elliot, Horse himself and the switch-er-oo of Hodgson into lock midway through the game.

On a side note, Dolphins should be targeting on of these forwards as a signing. Surely the lure of a starting number on your back and regular sunshine should be enough to lure on of these forwards away.

Lock in Tapine for 2023.
